Generating Traffic: Viral Marketing

Viral Marketing is one of the best ways to get more traffic to almost any site.
Because of the many forms of viral marketing, the possibilities of how much traffic you receive are endless.

So, what is Viral Marketing?

I don’t want to spend too much time on definitions, but, in short, viral marketing is creating a marketing message that will be spread to others also by other people and not just by yourself.

Compare it to a cold virus – if you have a cold you don’t need to visit everybody in your town to expose them all to it. You just have to visit a few people. They in turn will pass it on to others, who will pass it on, and so forth.

While your marketing message shouldn’t be as undesirable as a cold, it should be made in such a way that it is passed on easily and effortlessly.

Let’s go over a few basic viral marketing techniques that you can put to use over the next few days.

How to Whitelist Email Addresses

Many email providers are generally able to distinguish good email messages from spam or junk email.
When your email program detects suspicious content in a message or when the message comes from a suspicious address, the program automatically sends that message to your spam or junk folder (or completely blocks it from reaching you altogether).

Sometimes, an email message from a legitimate sender is incorrectly judged as spam and goes to your junk folder. You can take action to “teach” your email program that emails from that sender are acceptable and should be sent to your Inbox.

Here are some instructions to show you how to whitelist emails that you wish to receive, helping to prevent them from being deleted or sent to your junk folder.
Please use these instructions as a guide and be aware that they may differ slightly for the various versions of each email program.

You can add either the sender’s email address or their domain name to your whitelist or list of “safe senders”.
Microsoft Outlook

-On the main menu, click Actions
-Then select Junk E-mail > Junk E-mail Options.
-Click the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients tab.
-Click Add.
-In the “Enter an email address or Internet domain name to be added to the list” box, enter the email or domain address you want added, and then click OK.
-Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each email or domain address that you want to add.

Note: To quickly add a sender, domain name, or mailing list name to the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients Lists, right-click the message you consider safe, and then on the shortcut menu, point to Junk E-mail, and then click Add Sender to Safe Senders List, Add Sender’s Domain (@example.com) to Safe Senders List, or Add Recipient to Safe Recipients List.
Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo Mail uses combination of bulk mail folders and filters. If you are not receiving the emails you want, check your “Bulk Mail”. Next locate the filtered email, and choose ‘this is not Spam’ next to the ‘From’ field.

-At the bottom, where it says “Move the message to:” select “Inbox” from the drop-down menu.
-Click the “Add Filter” button at the bottom to add this filter.

Your Strengths – Your most powerfull ally

Today’s lesson is a combination between a task, few details and a review of previous exercise from chapter 2. Why bother to review that ? Well, I think would be obviously after you finish reding this third chapter.

The task : Highly recommended lecture, Internet Business Manifesto by Rich Schefren, click here to download for FREE.

One thing that Rich talks about is playing to your strengths.

You are put up to play against Michael Jordan in a one-to-one game.
